Vääksy-Padasjoki 36km

From the centre of Vääksy, drive towards Asikkala village and Pulkkila. However, the route does not take you all the way to Pulkkilanharju, but of course a brisk cyclist will make a nice stop there.

From Pulkkila, head towards Lehmonkärki, which is known as one of Finland's most spectacular tourist destinations. After Lehmonkärki, the route heads from Myllyksselkä to Highway 24 (old quadruple road), which is driven for about five kilometres.

If your bike works on gravel and dirt roads, you can also use Joenniementie and Mukulintie towards the north, starting at Myllykselä. This is part of a nicely winding gravel road. All in all, the option offers nice country views and lake views. This road meets the Häntämäentie drawn on the route after about 8 kilometers.

In accordance with the gpx track, the route returns to the peace of the countryside Maakeskinraitti, which is driven towards the village of Nyystölä. This section is a very nice winding and rolling country road. Päijänne will be nicely visible in the Harila landscape. The distance from Nyystölä to the destination is a few kilometers and the route ends at the port of Padasjoki.

As a rule, the route is not so-called loop but a line shape / point to point. So take this into account when designing the route!
